GreenChip SMPS control IC
Due to the discrete number of switching cycles, the new calculated number of pulses must
be 0.5 higher or lower than the existing number before one switching cycle is added or
taken away. For the IC to increase or decrease the amount of switching cycles, a certain
deviation from the target burst repetition frequency (800 Hz) is required because of the
internal algorithm. This deviation becomes smaller when the amount of switching cycles
increases. Figure 13
shows the upper and lower limits of the burst repetition frequency as
a function of the number of pulses.
When the amount of driver pulses within one burst period exceeds 40, the system
switches to normal mode again.
During the burst period, the voltage on the CTRL pin is clamped to the minimum
V
clamp(CTRL)
. The current out of the CTRL pin is measured. If the current exceeds
I
stop(CTRL)
, the burst period is terminated regardless of digital control. This feature ensures
a small overshoot at the output voltage when the load in burst mode suddenly reduces.
At the end of each burst period, the CTRL pin is pulled to the ground level for 12.5 s,
unless the current flowing from pin CTRL < 87 A, which usually occurs at a positive load
step.
